George has established close relationships with
many locals, which means that on top of the usual Slab City tourist
sights, you will get an in-depth view of our neighborhood, including
visiting the insides of otherwise "off-limits to the public"
places, West Satan, or even Nummy's Palm Hut's personal balcony.
Meet locals, have cold beverages with them, find the uncharted
distractions. We're here to show you or point you in the right
direction.
